Ola Electric receives SEBI warning over disclosure violation Ola Electric Mobility Limited received an administrative warning from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on Tuesday for violating several regulations. In a stock exchange filing, Ola Electric disclosed that the warning pertains to the dissemination of material information about a planned expansion of its store network. SEBI observed that the company’s Chairman, Bhavish Aggarwal, announced the expansion on social media before it was disclosed to stock exchanges, thereby breaching regulations that require the timely and equal dissemination of material information. Last month, Ola Electric announced plans to open 3,200 new stores, aiming to expand beyond metro and tier I and II cities into smaller towns and tehsils. The warning letter highlighted violations of regulations under the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. These regulations mandate that listed entities provide timely and equal access to relevant information for all investors, ensuring transparency and fairness. SEBI has advised Ola Electric to improve its compliance standards and warned of potential enforcement actions if such violations recur. Last week, Ola Electric appointed Pritam Das Mohapatra as the new Company Secretary and Compliance Officer. In his new role, Mohapatra will be responsible for overseeing the company’s regulatory compliance and governance framework to ensure adherence to SEBI regulations and corporate governance standards. In a separate development, Ola Electric has been granted a six-week extension by the Karnataka High Court to respond to a Show Cause Notice issued by the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA). The Bengaluru-based company received the notice in October last year due to an increase in consumer complaints, citing alleged violations of consumer rights, misleading advertisements, and unfair practices.

Ola Electric’s tech arm to raise nearly $100 Mn via preferential share Ola Electric Mobility Limited has announced that its material wholly owned subsidiary, Ola Electric Technologies (OET), has received board and shareholder approval to raise Rs 877.64 crore (nearly $100 million) through issuance of preference shares. According to a stock exchange filing on Tuesday, the fundraise will be executed via the allotment of up to 87.76 crore non-cumulative and non-participating 0.001% Series A Optionally Convertible Redeemable Preference Shares (OCRPS), each having a face value of Rs 10, to Ola Cell Technologies (OCT), another wholly owned subsidiary of the company. The issuance will be carried out on a preferential basis through private placement in one or more tranches. This move follows shareholder approval in August, which allowed variation in the objects and utilization of IPO proceeds. At that time, Ola Electric had said it secured approval to reallocate IPO proceeds for capital deployment in India’s electric two-wheeler market. Ola Electric Technologies (OET) is Ola Electric’s core manufacturing and technology arm, leading electric two-wheeler production and battery innovation. OET drives the scaling of Ola’s EV ecosystem, from vehicle platforms to advanced battery technology. Its wholly owned subsidiary, Ola Cell Technologies (OCT), focuses on indigenous cell R&D and large-scale manufacturing, supporting vertical integration and reducing dependence on imported cells. In August, Ola Electric jumped to second position among electric two wheeler manufacturers. The company's operating revenue reduced 50% to 828 crore in Q1 FY26, compared to Rs 1,644 crore in the previous year of the same quarter. Its losses went up 23.3% to Rs 428 crore in Q1 FY26, compared to Rs 347 crore in the same quarter last year. At the end of today's trading session, Ola Electric’s share price traded at Rs 56.95 with a market capitalization of Rs 25,119 crore (approx $2.8 billion).
